The contractor should have an excellent understanding of local stakeholders, their sensitivities and their interests in their local environment; a thorough understanding of community data and evidence and the likely merits of their application on the Wholescape Programme in Norfolk; a general understanding of the benefits of terrestrial, freshwater, transitional and marine restoration at national and local level. The contractor will be expected to know where to and how to access data on communities and understand the role of the Norfolk and Suffolk Natural Capital Compendium (link below), as a reference document on environmental threats and impacts across Norfolk's scapes. This is a fast-paced project, and the contractor will be expected to work to time, with any subsequent adaptations addressed within the timeframe provided below under 'Expected Deliverables'. The primary objective of research work is to acquire data and evidence on Norfolk's communities to aid our understanding of the social, economic, and environmental threats and opportunities. A second objective is to interrogate data and evidence to present a complete picture of Norfolk's communities, this will include narrative across agreed comparators and suggested research questions included at Annex 5.

Task 3: Research project to a) develop a list of community groups and networks that could help WWF reach local communities; b) provide findings organised by geography and purpose of groups and networks. Task 4: Research project to identify local communication channel opportunities to assist WWF and partner's outreach.
